slight over reaction. thankfully, our next few games are slightly easier than man u/arsenal and chelsea.

 

we can still deffo achieve both.

plus, when i see it and hear it is when i'll start believing everything.

 

yes, but we've often fallen short against weaker teams

not really this season... burnley and sheffield united was a confidence factor, we were on three straight defeats, and aston villa the only other result creeping into my mind, but villa park is still a tough ground for anyone, manchester united also drew there.

otherwise, we've won games where we have been favourites on paper.

Sure it was a hammy, done it myself before and you just know. You get a 'ping' and you feel like your leg is being stabbed in the back. To me it looked like a nailed on strain/tear of the hammy.

Gut feeling is that it isn't too bad.

 

If we a bad injury, eg torn hamstring don't think he would spend 2nd half looking relaxed sitting outside on the bench. Think the physios would be looking at some Rest/Ice/Compression/ Elevation at the very least!

That's what I'd have thought, but he was sat on the bench for most of the 2nd half and strolled off at the end looking fairly comfortable, but then Koeman has said 4-5 weeks?

****ing knew we should have played the kids and gone out of this sodding waste of time. :x

 

Every FA cup game from now until the end of the season is our least important match of the season as long as we have a chance of the CL

Give over.

 

Keep on going for it in the cup, Ronald.

 

I reckon he will, too.

Clyne gardos fonte Bertrand

Cork Davis

Tadic jwp Elia

Pelle

 

That's good enough to beat Newcastle. They'll come out of the blocks quickly but if we can withstand the early barrage we will win

 

Why do you say that? I thought they had a reputation for quite the opposite, tbh.

Can think of Michael Owen for one.

 

Whilst he was plagued with hamstring injuries in the latter part of his career, the medical experts believe this to have been down to the number of matches he (and others) play at an early age. In Owen's case he was starting for Liverpool and England at 17!

 

His example is the major reason Shaw missed games in his first season. The fear is that playing at such a high level places too much (and long term) strain on muscles at a stage when the body is still developing & strengthening.

 

I seem to recall that c80% of players who make 100 EPL appearances/starts before 21 end up with hamstring injuries which become a recurring feature of their future career.

 

The high profile exception was Giggs, but he was told by Fergie to take up yoga as aprt of his fitness programme and sell his fancy Ferrari, whch basically had him sat on the floor.

Giggs was 20 at the time and already missing matches due to hamstring/muscle growth issues

My biggest concern is where the goals will come from in the next few weeks

 

Why? We scored in each of the last 7 games including 3 v Palace and 3 v Everton. The other games have been against Ipswich (changed teams, crap conditions etc) and those pesky little sides called Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal, but we still scored in all of them. EE has come in to cover Mane, and all the other front players are fit.

Hasn't Koeman also said he wants to buy a striker? In which case scoring goals should be (currently) the least of our concerns.
